Michèle Boyer, sca
Artistic approach
I love watercolor for its unpredictability that pushes me to stay alert and question myself. A conversation is established between my artwork and me. The use of intense pigmentation and water creates nuances in transparency and a very soft movement.
I approach my creations with the audacity of spontaneous gesture. This freedom of movement transposes my emotions onto my paper. My watercolors are semi-abstract and leave room for everyone's interpretation.
My artistic journey continues through my explorations.
